ABSTRACT:
A fleece-making apparatus has a vertically extending and horizontally elongated process shaft having upper and lower ends, a nozzle head at the upper shaft end for emitting a multiplicity of continuous thermoplastic strands that descend in the shaft as a curtain, and a foraminous conveyor belt at the lower shaft end for receiving and conveying away the filaments. A main stream of air flows downward in the shaft from the upper shaft end to the lower shaft end and through the belt for cooling and stretching the filaments and depositing the filaments on the belt. A pair of horizontally elongated and downwardly open second inlet slots flank the curtain of filaments below the upper shaft end, a pair of horizontally elongated third inlet slots flank the curtain of filaments below the second slots, and a pair of horizontally elongated third outlet slots flank the curtain of filaments below the third inlet slots and above the lower end. A controller including at least one blower connected to the slots directs second streams of air downward into the shaft from the second inlet slots, introduces third streams of air into the shaft through the third slots, and withdraws air from the passage through the third outlet slots for looping the cooled and stretched filaments prior to deposition on the belt.
